She has made the list along with her mother of what they have to buy to fill in the monthly consumption and necessities at home.

They are in the Reliance market right now and now Pranjal is going to look for Nutella while her mother is picking up some bread and fruits.

Tucking her lower lip between her teeth, her eyes moving through every shelf of Sauces and creams, When finally she saw Nutella and picked it up smiling. As she was going to her mother, She spots Dev with his mother.

No! Please. Don't spot us.

But Mrs Malhotra saw her and smiled towards her.

"Hello Aunty" Pranjal Greet with a smile

"Namaste Aunty," Said Dev to her Mother.

Mrs Malhotra answered and her mother started talking and Pranjal excused herself and started looking for snacks to avoid Mrs.Malhotra's son.

She picks up some Maggie packets, cheese and a Few biscuits.

"Where did you get these cookies from?" Asked Dev beside her and she pointed out the section

"Irritate kar raha hoon tumhe? (Am I irritating you?)" He asks and she spares a glance at him.

"Oh, you are not the Bollywood type" He sighs, grabbing a Maggie packet as well!

"Excuse me?"

"Have you watched Piku? The next time after this dialogue is - Meri Tolerate Power bahut Achi hai (My tolerance power is very nice)"

She keeps staring at him "You are so extrovert"

"Baat karna extrovert me aata hai? (Talking comes in being an extrovert?" He asked bobbing his head

She shakes her head "No but talking to a complete stranger is !"

He frowned "But you are not a stranger, you are a Teacher of my siblings and I know you, You read books and I know your address" He shrugged

She huffed and started stuffing her trolley with more snacks and he left her feeling that he was irritating her.

They all came out together and Mrs.Malhotra requested that they sit with them in the car.

After neglecting them for a long time, Pranjal's mom finally agreed.

Dev opens the trunk of the car, stuffing the polythene he had with him and takes the bag from Pranjal who stood beside him, Stuffing it in the trunk.

"You have energy?" He asked and She raised her eyebrows in confusion

"Try closing this, let me see if you can" he points his thumb at Trunk.

She rolled her eyes and leveled up her hands straight in the air to hold the trunk and she closed it with a loud thug and dusted her hands with a smirk.

"Well...I didn't ask you to break it" He looked behind his Mother and Her's, then added "Teacher"

She scrunches her face in annoyance.

He chuckles "I am sorry!"

Dev opened the door of the back seat for Pranjal's Mother and he Went to drive.

During the whole drive, it was Dev and Pranjal's mother talking while Dev and Pranjal made eye contact through the mirror and her gushing over the way he drove.

Earlier she didn't find it hot but then one day Ahana showed her the video several times now...She is finding it hot! Stop it, Pranjal!

"Pranjal" Prapti holds her hand "This time I am not gonna get heartbroken I am sure of it"

"How?"

"He does everything for me what I have told him to Pranjal" Prapti grins and Pranjal nods "And what all things has he done without you telling him?" She asked and Prapti thought.

"He plans the dates for us!"

"Tch Prapti!" Pranjal licked her lips to make her understand. Prapti had heartbreak in class 12th and she was a mess. This is her 2nd relationship after dating a few who wanted her just for sex...Let's leave that shit stuff, So she knows how strong yet sensitive she is when it comes to her love life.

"Pranjal trust me this time, I am grown and I know he is nice, in school it was like, I was a kid, I have learnt from the previous relationships!"

Pranjal nodded, still not satisfied. Prapti came on blabbering and She closed her eyes praying "Please If Someone else is the one for her..send him soon god or else let Dhun be the good guy"

____________

She rubs are arms while pulling the curtain over the Balcony Door only to Find Dev reading the Novel while walking on his Balcony.

She observes how he is smiling and then frowning! The only good thing about him...that he is a reader.

She can't see what he is reading but the cover...is of the book she suggested to him. A smile formed on her lips and looked at him for a while. Trying to know...How can someone be so enthusiastic like him?

With a smile on her lips, she returns to sleep!
___________

She is going to her college when she finds a slip on her cycle 'Thank you for the best book suggestions Teacher"

Shaking her head she cycles to her college with a smile...Stupid!
